How long does your daily ride typically take you? Much variation or is it pretty consistent?

[OceanBlue]

My daily ride takes between 73-76 minutes. When I ride with my buddy who is faster it's a few less hills but same distance it's about 66 minutes. I draft off of him as well.

I got out on the mountain bike, but as I was riding to the singletrack, I saw a parked bullet bike on the road and a guy in his 20s looking through the weeds. It turned out his wallet had fallen somehow and all his cards & IDs had spilled all over. I helped him for 15 minutes, and a couple of other guys stopped to help, too. He found most of his stuff, except for his school ID and Social Security card. (Why would anyone carry their ss card full-time?) I finally continued on my ride and was rewarded with a bad snakebite flat going down a rocky section with about 200 yards to go before reaching pavement. Maybe the reward was that the flat didn't come earlier?

1 mile each to and from basketball this morning.

Maybe the reward was that the flat didn't come earlier?

Or maybe that your rear triangle is going strong with the new weld job?

20 miler. Windy!!

[OceanBlue]

20 miles. Amazing how much faster I ride when I ride with speed demons on Saturday.

18 miles with my wife today. On the way back a guy passed me like I was standing still going up a hill. The guy didn't look like your typical cyclist, shorts , no helmet, baseball hat on backwards. I kicked it in a top of hill leaving wife behind and trying to redeem myself. It was a major effort trying to catch this guy. During one stretch I hit 24.5 mph which for me is very fast. I finally caught him but he was right behind me and after a mile he passes me again. This went on for a total of four miles and I passed with a half mile to go thinking I had the win. As I passed him I said "first one to the airport wins". He passed me with about twenty yards to go and got the win. I had more fun racing this guy then I've had since I've started biking four months ago. I might bike again this afternoon.

Just 2 miles today.

[OceanBlue]

Did 20 miles tonight. Felt strong.

I assume the second ride was to release tension that would have found no relief from a spouse you dropped like a sack of wet cement to chase after the solo rider this morning.

I'm not implying anything, OB, but if a stranger started racing me while I was just out riding, I'd think he was kind of a douche. But this seems to happen a lot in your parts, so maybe it's a culture thing.

Must be because it happens all the time. On my second ride tonight a guy chased after me but couldn't keep up. I was packing up my bike into my car and he pulled up and said he has seen me out riding and was just trying to keep up. I invited him to ride with my buddy from our ward on Saturday mornings.

Lol, ok. Just making sure.
